what is so bad about the underworld movies? they're competently produced pure popcorn movies and easily equal to any of the better blade movies or similar action fare. (they're a sore sight better than, say, die hard 2 or 4.) i still can't fathom why they drew so much critical ire; maybe reviewers simply got tired of vampires, or got their pretentions on because the underworld movies play it straight instead of constantly winking and going "lol we secretly know we're genre trash mister smarty reviewer tee hee lol lol oh u"
